| Abstract | One bacterial isolate capable of growing better in minimal medium containing diesel, kerosene and petrol were designated as D3, K4 and P4, respectively. Their growth pattern, hydrocarbon biodegradation in the presence of different nutrient media, carbon, nitrogen sources; solvent tolerance and enzyme activity was studied. The nutrient rich LB medium supplemented with diesel, kerosene and petrol at 2% supported more growth of the isolates than the controls. Isolates showed differential preference towards nitrogen sources and demonstrated enhanced degradation of the hydrocarbons due to supply of rate limiting concentrations of nitrogen. The catechol 1, 2- dioxygenase activity in all the isolates was more when compared to catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase. Based on the biochemical characterization, the K4 and P4 strains were identified as Pseudomonas sp and Bacillus sp., respectively. The strains exhibited maximum degradation of the applied hydrocarbons in the soil supplemented with nitrogen and potassium nutrients. |
